Mine wouldn't accomplish much though. There is of course the thumbs in the eyeballs move. Strangulation with bare hands. Ahem. In reality - I don't know if I could even shoot anybody. Unless, of course, they were threatening my kids. That would be a no brainer.Kerry Schaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03821175497518362926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-72742525558640741642011-04-12T18:24:28.572-04:002011-04-12T18:24:28.572-04:00Oh, yes, strangulation is definitely an intimate c...Oh, yes, strangulation is definitely an intimate crime, as is a good shifter-mauling. <br /><br />At three feet away, I'm hoping the hairy-eye will keep the foe at bay.K.A.

I think some of the most powerful death scenes are the ones where the fight is personal, where the reader can picture two people fighting face-to-face. If I had to choose my favorite weapon though, it would have to be claws. Yeah, I'm a shapeshifter lover and I think claws and teeth are the most intimate weapons o' war in a fight scene. *think* Trying to figure out if there's a hidden meaning in that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-7954768680628738342011-04-12T12:27:55.224-04:002011-04-12T12:27:55.224-04:00Ah, yes - either at least three feet away or up an...Ah, yes - either at least three feet away or up and inside their guard.

There are certain types of crimes that are very "personal" - like strangulation - that suggest a high degree of emotion.Laura Bicklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498043274943334697noreply@blogger.com
